Swedish allergenic risk reaction guidance

Introduction:

The second edition of the scientific study on undeclared allergens in food, titled  Guide on how to estimate the Risk of Allergic Reactions in the Population, was released by the Swedish Food Agency (SFA) on September 5, 2022.

Key takeaway:

 This risk assessment guide provides in-depth details such as:

  • Analytical data will be used to determine how SFA will evaluate the population’s risk for allergic responses when the concentration of an undeclared allergen is known.
  • The Risk Assessment Guide comes following the FAO/WHO summary report on reference dosages for food allergens (FAO/WHO, 2021).
  • This manual is a crucial tool for assisting owners of food businesses in making decisions about handling food allergens depending on risk.
